netlink: specs: ovs: remove fixed header fields from attrs
Op's "attributes" list is a workaround for families with a single attr set. We don't want to render a single huge request structure, the same for each op since we know that most ops accept only a small set of attributes. "Attributes" list lets us narrow down the attributes to what op acctually pays attention to. It doesn't make sense to put names of fixed headers in there. They are not "attributes" and we can't really narrow down the struct members. Remove the fixed header fields from attrs for ovs families in preparation for C codegen support.
